Fo'c'sle Tavern Review
This rustic midtown spot feels like a communal living room because residents go so regularly. The interior is pine, from the floors and furnishings to the wainscoted walls decorated with local artwork. In the windowed front section you can order hefty servings of mussels or beer-battered haddock (a wood stove exudes warmth and goodwill on chilly nights). There are pool tables, TVs, and long "drinking tables" at the other end, plus live music many weekends. Though it's a townie hangout, the mood is welcoming and the staff will treat you like kin.
